All sensible thoughts, he would agree. To think that countless Sinners in Hell would practically throw away their free will for a ham sandwich, while here was someone who put some thought into it.
To consider the weight of her freedom... it was that spirit that drew him to her in the first place.
The earlier bravado melted, helpless to the touch against glowing skin. It'd be a wonder if she couldn't feel his quickening pulse, heart fluttering ceaselessly away like a caged bird in his chest. Of course, there was time to give the middle finger to the Green Knight if- no, when- the whole thing worked. ...If she does choose to do so in the end.
With a nod, he was relieved once more. If he explained the process, talked terms, it'd make things much smoother. He just had to prepare for how much they'd wish to know about him before anything, and how much he could entrust in kind. "Thank you. ...I agree. We'll do it together."
He eased into the touch, glad to be able to do things like this, even after making such a suggestion. How ironic to hear someone looking forward to a Deal, but circumstances were strange. This was... this was for a good cause.
He stroked her cheek. "You've already done so much for me, Daeleth. Yours is a soul that deserves to be treasured, rather than toyed with."
